I have a 770 with OS 2006. I followed the thread, went to http://pupnik.de/dosbox.html , downloaded the 0.72 OS2006 deb, downloaded the libs with red pill, installed xbkd and was able to run Microsoft Quick C and other programs.
But I have some doubts. First, confirm that dosbox.conf should be in /home/user/.dosboxrc
Second, the keyboard layout is in /usr/share/xkbd/en_GB.qwerty.xkbd or in
/usr/bin/dosboxkbd ?
Moreover, I am using the standard xkbd configuration (the two keyboards seems baroque) and I don't know how to produce F1,F2 (function keys). Probably, a guide on your web site will help.

Just use Ukki's incredible Rubybox to mount any games or applications that you might have.

The latest version is here:
Rubybox

You might need to also download the supporting software called OS2008 Ruby Repo .install as well.

You can find that here:
http://pupnik.de/dosbox.html

Finally, here's a good tutorial on how to use Dosbox just in case you're interested.

I've augered into the dirt trying to get Rubybox installed.

First I installed Ruby from the maemo repositories.

Rubybox refused to load.
Removed Ruby.

Found a bunch of Ruby debs on Gronmayer I think. Installed the lot of them.

Rubybox complains about Unzip now. Found unzip deb.

Unzip complains about unzip-crypto conflicting.

Can't uninstall unzip-crypto. Not listed in the application manager.

I feel like I'm back to running Redhat 5. A dependancy problem at every turn. How can I resolve this? Is there a -force option somewhere?

Anyone have a clue where unzip-crypto came from?


Finally, a serious question as I honestly don't know the answer to this: Why Ruby? What's wrong with Python? Note that I've never looked at source code in either language. So I'm wondering why people use it? What does it bring to the table that C or Python don't have?

Try with these instructions, unzip can be found from extras, rest from pupnik.de. Try running 'rbox' from xterm if RubyBox doesn't start.

Why Python or C? You can't really argue about people's taste for programming language. But don't worry, once they break compatibility with chinook, Ruby-Maemo will die.

Thanks Ukki, but I'm stuck on step one.

Unzip conflicts with unzip-crypto and I can't uninstall unzip-crypto.

Tried apt-get remove unzip-crypto as root in xterminal or enabling red pill mode in application manager?

apt-get remove zip-rar-7za fixed me.
Now looking for game settings. Thanks.

Well, it runs. Sorta. What do I put in for a server/user name? Also, the scan feature seems to be missing and it can't find dosboxbin, so it won't actually run dosbox.

I know you're gonna ask this: I

Complete instructions are in the post I linked above. If you are missing dosboxbin on os2008, you have a wrong version of dosbox installed.
